I've been back for two months, but finally got my blog updated with lots of photos from our British Virgin Islands bareboating trip in January. It took 15 posts to cover the week and a half trip and there are lots of great pictures, hope you enjoy.

Thanks Richard!

The camera is a Canon EOS 7D.

For lenses, all the pictures on this trip were shot with either a 70-300mm telephoto or a 28-135mm standard zoom.

I'll put together a blog post with more details for anyone interested. I've been trying to put more time into studying sailing photography and am learning a lot of things I didn't know before. A really good picture captures great sailing trips better than anything else. I have the pictures on the screensavers at home so my wife and kids remember all the fun and talk about it often.

I just picked up a 10-22mm wide angle that I think will really be useful for pictures on a sailboat, particularly because everything is so close together onboard and its hard to capture life onboard with regular and long lenses, but I didn't have the wide angle on the last BVI trip. Right now I'm in the process of figuring out how to shoot with a wide angle lens, it requires a totally different way of thinking, but it's been a lot of fun so far.
